Klinsmann causes a World Cup scandal with racism statements

The architect of the German summer fairy tale of 2006 is now working as a TV expert, and the 58-year-old made a huge mistake on Friday.

What happened?

Iran had beaten Wales 2-0 in the second group game of this World Cup (schedule for the 2022 World Cup), “Klinsi” analyzed the game for the British TV station BBC.

He accused Iran of playing a dirty game and repeatedly said it was "part of their culture".

He had already been heavily criticized for this on social media.

Jürgen Klinsmann is heavily criticized for racism statements

For example, on Twitter it said: "He should be excluded as an expert for the rest of the tournament.

His baseless and racist twaddle towards Iran was a disgrace and the BBC should be ashamed to let him talk like that on live TV without interfering.”

British journalist Mehdi Hasan said: “What irony.

Klinsmann, who was often criticized as a player for his swallows, makes these sweeping and rather racist-sounding claims.

It's sad that nobody else in this round asked him about it." He wrote "#everydayracism" - "everyday racism".

Iran coach Carlos Queiroz fumes about Jurgen Klinsmann

And further: "No matter how much I can respect what you did on the field, these statements about Iranian culture, the Iranian national team and my players are a disgrace to football."

The Portuguese coach then even invited Klinsmann to visit him and the team and exchange ideas about Iranian culture.

Before that, the former DFB coach should resign from the FIFA technical study group for the World Cup.

It's by no means the only scandal at this much-discussed World Cup: for example, a TV reporter was asked to choose a punishment for a pickpocket, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino also shocked with a press conference.
